Verify JWT Using an RSA Public Key (RS256, RS384, RS512)

See more JSON Web Token (JWT) Examples

Demonstrates how to verify a JWT that was signed using an RSA private key.

This example verifies the RSA signature. It also does the following:

  • Checks to see if the time constraints ("nbf" and "exp") are valid.
  • Recovers the original JOSE header.
  • Recovers the original claims JSON.
